Perhaps already Bohuslav Martinů received an author's copy of the score of CONCERTA GROSSA. Alfred Schlee is glad that Universal Edition, Vienna can give the piece a big promotion. The score will be printed in 2-3 weeks. Paul Sacher performed the piece a few days ago at the Konzerthaus in Vienna. They have sent the score to all the major conductors in Europe and have already had a number of positive responses. They assure BM that they will do everything for the work, especially since it seems to be a great success.
